Description

Indiana University is seeking one or more airline partners to provide commercial passenger air services and/or charter flight services for its students, faculty, staff, athletic teams, and executive leadership. The contract will cover a broad network of domestic and international routes, flexible fare and charter terms, dedicated account management, and a sponsorship/branding component that allows the airline to gain visibility across the university community. The award will be a five‑year agreement (with renewal options) and the university expects to spend roughly $20 million per year on air travel, split between commercial ($15.5 M) and charter ($5.1 M) services. • Provide competitive airfare pricing, flexible fare rules, and a user‑friendly booking interface integrated with IU travel‑management platforms. • Deliver charter‑flight capability for athletics, marching band, and executive travel, including equipment transport and branding opportunities. • Develop a sponsorship package that includes co‑branded marketing, campus engagement events, and alumni outreach, while meeting sustainability and compliance requirements.

Budget estimate

$50,000,000 – $125,000,000

Based on the university’s disclosed annual air‑travel spend of roughly $20.6 million (commercial > $15.5 M, charter > $5.1 M), a winning airline could expect revenue in that range if it captures the full market. Assuming the contract runs for five years, the total contract value could range from about $50 million (partial capture) to $125 million (full capture of both commercial and charter spend). Factors influencing the budget include the proportion of annual spend the airline secures, negotiated rate discounts, ancillary revenue (e.g., baggage fees, upgrades), and the value of the sponsorship package.
